SCMAD

Hi All,

I was just searching for J2ME stuff on javaranch, but didnt find much. I cant even see a seperate topic for SCMAD.
Isn't it that important to have a separate topic for SCMAD

Actually I am a stranger to J2ME. I am SCJP and SCWCD. But I am getting a good job opportunity in J2ME.
So I want to know is it good to go for J2ME? What future does it hold?
I know that at present iphone/ipad andriod applications are growing at a fast rate, but I dont have any idea how different J2ME is from Android.

I am very confused about this. Can anyone please advice on this?
And also if I have to start with J2ME, then what can be the best book to learn it as a beginner.

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Isha
